Rob Zombie’s version of Halloween.
August 7th, 2007 by 2xKnight
I love horror movies. More specifically, slashers, the archetype of which is Halloween. Made in 1978 by John Carpenter, Halloween inspired some of the greatest slasher movies of all time. The most famous is probably the Friday the 13th series of movies. If you’ve read my “About Author” page, you know how much I love that series. Halloween continues to inspire film makers almost 30 years later.
Rob Zombie’s first foray into the belly of the beast was in 2003 with House of 1000 Corpses. Any horror fan who’s seen it can tell you that Rob Zombie knows his stuff. He took the best and the worst of low budge horror and made it fun again. That’s why I’m excited to hear that he’s involved with the newest version of Halloween.
The last few Halloween movies are only a pale reflection of the original. The only thing they’ve had going for them was the reputation of the previous movies. Halloween: H20 probably came the closest to the 1978 masterpiece. It marked the return of Jamie Lee Curtis to the part of Laurie Strode.
It’s a remake, and I’m no fan of remakes. There have been some really bad ones, Texas Chainsaw Massacre for example. The new Halloween remake has something the others don’t. A horror fan at the helm as writer and director. A horror fan who knows what he’s doing. I have very high hopes for this movie. I believe Rob Zombie can return Halloween the movie to it’s former bloody glory.
